And do it quick, otherwise the heat will warp the metal surrounding the area you're cutting. Use masking tape to mark off the area you will be cutting on and draw your outline directly onto it.

Hey, I'm just curious. Do they look like this:


Those are the ones I got for my wagon awhile back and I've seen other CD and CE accords with flat ones. Can anyone enlighten me on which ones I have? I got them on ebay and the seller said they were for the 94-97 accords.

my car. the guy that installed them did it about half an inch too low, ******* tard. I gave him directions and all... but whatever.

free cause he fucked up. still looks good though.

EDIT: damn, my old SD100 really doesn't pick up the detail my new one does. I need to take new pictures when I get my car cleaned up.

Please forgive me, what year/model is the CB? Just an "uneducated" guess but I think you're referring to the 90-93 accord, are you not?

So those actually light up when you are signaling for a turn. Nice.

Password JDM offers precut fenders, I wouldn't reccomend going that route, but just so you know.
